IDF hits 200 Hamas targets overnight, finds weapons, tunnels in a school

The Israel Defense Forces says it carried out strikes against some 200 Hamas targets in Gaza overnight, as ground forces continue to operate in the Strip.

In a statement, the IDF says its Negev Brigade destroyed Hamas “infrastructure” inside a school in northern Gaza’s Beit Hanoun, which was used by operatives to attack troops.

Inside the school complex, troops found two tunnel entrances, including one that was booby-trapped, and other weapons.

Ground forces also directed airstrikes overnight, including against cars ferrying missiles and mortars for Hamas operatives, an anti-tank missile launch position, and a group of Hamas operatives and a nearby weapons depot.

The Israeli Navy also carried out strikes overnight, targeting Hamas observation posts and other infrastructure along Gaza’s coast, according to the military.
